The '''DTM Series''' is a line of [[shotgun]]s made by [[Weapon System Technology]], based on [[Misriah Armory]]'s highly successful [[M45 shotgun]].<ref>''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]'', [[Library (feature)|Library]]</ref> 20 gauge and 10 gauge models are available on the civilian market, though [[Soellkraft 8 gauge shell|8 gauge]] versions are sold only to law enforcement and military agencies.{{Ref/Site|Id=Bungie|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/projects/halo3/content.aspx?link=h3shotgun|Site=Bungie.net|Page=The M90A Shotgun|D=08|M=6|Y=2020|LocalArchive=Machines, Materiel and Munitions from the Human-Covenant Conflict, 2525 - Present/M90A}} Over the course of their service with the [[UNSC]], the military variants of this series have accrued an enormous variety of colorful nicknames from those who used them. These include (but are far from limited to): "The Hammer", "Deck Clearer", "Mop", "Broom", "Universal Translator", "Boomstick", "Hick Stick", "Thunderer", "Betsy", "Equalizer", "Waster", and "the Okay-47".{{Ref/Book|Id=ENC325|Enc11|Page=325}}

The following remarks, relating to the military variants of the DTM series, were obtained by [[Dr. Robert McLees]] as part of his document [[Machines, Materiel and Munitions from the Human-Covenant Conflict, 2525 - Present]] from anonymous members of the [[UNSC Marine Corps]] unit [[E2-BAG/1/7]].{{Ref/Reuse|Bungie}}{{Ref/Site|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BAGMongoose|Site=Bungie.net|Page=The Mongoose|D=07|M=02|Y=2021|LocalArchive=Machines, Materiel and Munitions from the Human-Covenant Conflict, 2525 - Present/Mongoose}}

*“The kick is milder with the As — not that it was that bad to begin with — sometimes progress just seems like change, if you catch my meaning.”

*“The adjustable stock on the M90 works just fine, but I’ve got a soft spot in my heart for the [[WST DTM/Law Enforcement|WST DTM/LE]] model — old habits die hard, I guess.{{Ref/Note|CPL GROVE, ROBERT 081225-78081-RG was employed as a law enforcement officer in Elysium City prior to entering the Marine Corps; he is referring to the WST DTM/LE (law enforcement) model which had a solid stock and no pistol grip.}}

*"I believe that the sound of racking the pump of a shotgun is universally recognized as "kiss your ass goodbye"."

*“Actually, I think the jury is still out on whether it means ‘STFU and STFD’ or ‘you ain’t gonna make it.”

*“The action I saw against the Flood on [[Delta Halo]] was pretty limited — thankfully — and you would think that the M90 would be the ultimate anti-Flood weapon, right? Except that a shotgun is effective because it delivers a massive shock to a delicately balanced system of organs and the Flood don’t have that delicately balanced system of organs — it’s like shooting a mike foxtrot tree! All you can really hope to do is disassemble them as rapidly as possible in the correct order.
*“The shotgun is a specialist weapon — it has its uses, but they are limited. Maybe it is more accurate to call it a tool, as opposed to a weapon?”
